If we look at the territory that once belonged to roman province of Dalmatia, most remains of Roman sarcophagi, either found in one piece or in fragments, were discovered on territory where now stand modern towns of Solin and Vranjic. These findings were mainly studied by Nenad Cambi, F.C.A. whose research papers were main guide material used for writing this paper. The topic of this paper is a sarcophagus from Split depicting Israelites crossing the Red Sea. It was necessary to find the information about the motif itself and other sarcophagi that were made in stonemasonry workshops in the city of Rome for comparison. The sarcophagus from Split depicting Israelites crossing the Red Sea is the latest dated of sarcophagi which were made in stonemasonry workshops in Rome and were imported into the province of Dalmatia. Until 1902 A.D., when it was bought by the Archaeological Museum in Split, sarcophagus was kept in the monastery of St. Francis in the same city. This theme is common on sarcophagi which were made during the reign of Emperor Theodosius. Sarcophagus from Split was made during the period between 315 A.D. the year in which the arch of Constantine was dedicated and 410 A.D. the year in which Visigoths plundered Rome. After that event in 410 A.D. the production of stonemasonry workshops in Rome stopped. Stylistic features such as elongated and framed eye sockets and pierced pupils prove that this sarcophagus was made during or after the reign of Emperor Theodosius. Time frame was narrowed down thanks to the type of hairstyle Miriam wears. Variations of this hairstyle were worn shortly after the reign of Emperor Constantine and slowly disappeared during the reign of Emperor Theodosius. Taking all these facts into account Nenad Cambi and Guntram Koch came to a conclusion that sarcophagus from Split was made around 390 A.D. The motif of Israelites crossing the Red Sea itself is displayed on the front of the sarcophagus. Left side of the chest is decorated with fishbone motif (squammae). The scene of adoring the holy cross is displayed on the right side of the chest and on the back of the chest three characters are shown. The central character is a praying woman, with young apostles on her each side. Unfortunately, the lid of this sarcophagus has never been found.
